“Heather, what in the world have you gotten yourself into NOW?” you ask.

Y’all know me and my adventures. This one is one that thrills me to NO. END. The thrill is endless, people! Though I am not/have never been/will probably never be a fashionista (are yoga pants and a top knot a fashion statement?), working with Noonday Collection combines two things I AM passionate about: assisting the impoverished in carving roads out of poverty in sustainable ways (versus a hand-out) and helping loving families graft orphaned/abandoned children into their families through adoption.

I mean, if we’re going to buy stuff anyway (and Lord knows we are!), why not purchase with purpose, knowing that the money goes directly to these artisans (in exchange for their WORK), rather than a maniacal Sweat Shop owner somewhere who cut a deal with a Big Box Store?

Besides, these artisans from-around-the-world make some really cool stuff. In Ethiopia, for example, the artisans go out into fields formerly used for battle, collect artillery shells that have been left behind and create a gorgeous necklace, taking something that was meant for evil and using it for the good of supporting their families ON THEIR OWN.

Have you ever? And there’s puh-lenty more where that came from. Check these out.

In addition to supporting the artisans, 10% of your purchase could be supporting an adoptive family! Too cool.

There are a few ways to shop Noonday Collection:

1. Click here for direct online shopping if you’re not local to my area. If you don’t see ‘Heather Lewis’ in the address bar at the top, just choose me as your Ambassador in the drop-down menu when asked. Noonday Collection ships your product right to your front door, and you never have to change out of your yoga pants. Maybe that’s just me.

2. DFW Area/North Texas/East Texas/South Oklahoma Locals: complete the Contact Form below to schedule a Trunk Show. Super fun for a cause! You invite some people over and make some food (GOOD food, please!), and Noonday (read: me) does the rest. And I promise not to show up in my yoga pants.

3. ADOPTIVE FAMILIES ANYWHERE: complete the Contact Form below to connect with me to learn about how Noonday Collection can help fund your adoption.

4. Friends and/or Family of Adoptive Families: Gift them with the proceeds from a show, from wherever you are. What a beautiful picture of extended community involvement in the adoption process. Contact me below.

Very cool! I’ve seen those hand-rolled “beads” in necklaces & bracelets & LOVE them. I bought a necklace of them at a Museum in MD years ago and would LOVE another. I’ll check out shopping at Noonday Collection and am praying about having a Trunk Show….
